Eddie Shephard blog

For all veggie and vegan foodies out there this is the blog for you as it’s written by the award winning veggie chef, Eddie Shephard.

The 27 year old has been described as the ‘the Heston Blumenthal of the vegetarian world’ and if the pictures on this site are anything to go by, that’s an understatement. We think his recipes would be perfect for vegetarian dinner parties.

In 2009 he won ‘Cordon-verts’ ‘Chef of the future’ competition for his unique cooking. And this website has become one of the go-to places to see ‘modern, elegant and creative food.’

He experiments in what his friends call ‘the lab’ - his small, but high-tech kitchen in his flat, and along with another vegetarian chef Wendy Sweetness, is starting a supper club and other pop-up events - details to be revealed on his site.

Ellen DeGeneres blog

The US actress and chat show host is also one of America’s most outspoken vegans and has her own blog with recipes, advice on how to cope when you first become a vegan and a who’s who of celebrity vegans and vegetarians.

She advices first-timers to, ‘do some investigating. See if you can find vegan-friendly stores and restaurants in your neighborhood that you didn’t even know existed.

‘Ask your vegan or vegetarian friends where they shop. If you don’t have any vegan friends, see if you can make some.’

‘Post a new status on Facebook. You might be surprised who comes out of the woodwork. It’s great to be able to share tricks and thoughts with someone.’

Recipes from mini-burgers to raspberry mousse pie look delicious and are easy to follow.

Tinned Tomatoes blog

Jacqueline Meldrum, aka The Scottish Vegetarian, writes Tinned Tomatoes and has been a food writer and recipe developer who specialises in vegetarian cooking, launching her site in April 2007.

Cooking and baking for over 24 years now, she became a vegetarian 22 years ago and has been trying out new recipes ever since.

Tinned Tomatoes has been featured on Sainsbury's Money Matters Website as one of the Top 20 Family Food Blogs.

She also writes two other blogs: Little Tums, where she posts baby and toddler recipes she has been developing and The Food Blog Diary, where current foodie events, giveaways and challenges are detailed.

She lives in Scotland with her son Cooper and husband Graham, who she says, ‘are my greatest fans and greatest critics.’

Lustrous musings blog

This vegan blogger again spends a lot of time traveling - up to 1000 miles a week - and picking up recipes on the way.

A vegan of 12 years, he’s certainly into puddings and sweet treats and his recipes are often accompanied by step-by-step pictures of what he’s been cooking or baking.

A definite stop for those who love eating out as his site has lots of reviews of veggie and vegan restaurants across the UK.

He says, ‘Cooking is so much more fun and rewarding when you've the opportunity to develop new techniques and recipes, rather than simply rehashing that which has been done for generations before.’

‘A vegan diet is certainly restrictive to a degree, but food professionals and 'foodies' who claim that it's devoid of massive opportunity for new recipe/texture/flavour development are in my opinion incompetent and really need to get out more!’
